5 Things You Need To Know While Buying A Power Bank

Nowadays, smartphone devices have become an important part of our day-to-day life. With smartphones getting bigger, better and more powerful each and every day, their usability, capabilities and hence their demand are also growing all across the globe. Today, almost each and every person on the earth including, a student, a professional, a doctor, an engineer or even a teenager, everyone desires for a powerful smartphone device. The only reason for this remains the advanced capabilities and features found on a smartphone device.

However, low battery backup still remains one of the biggest and major problems faced by smartphone owners. No matter, it’s an Apple iPhone, Google Nexus or Lumia Smartphone owner, every smartphone owner faces the problem of early battery drainage on-the-go. This is where; the need of power banks arrives.

You need to know the capacity of the portable power bank, which is measured in milliampere-hour (mAH). And the capacity of your smartphone’s battery is also measured in mAH. For example, if your smartphone has a battery of 1500mAH, a 3000mAH power bank can charge your smartphone almost twice. Though, not 100% the second time, because of voltage conversion and resistance. You can even buy a power bank of 20,000mAH, which can charge your smartphone device several times. Though, bigger and better also means heavier and costlier.

USB Charging

A good quality power bank can be charged using different type of connectors as well.

Number of Ports

You need to know the number of output ports present on the power bank.

Whereas, a power bank with single port would either charge your smartphone or tablet at a time.

Price vs. Quality

Nowadays, there are numerous power banks selling in the market and e-commerce portals which are available at very cheap price tag. One can even buy a power bank for Rs. 200 or Rs.300. But you need to know that these cheap power banks don’t carry any sort of warranty and are of cheap quality as well. They won’t charge your device properly and would die soon as well. If you need solid quality, you need to pay more as well.
